Nonsite Bay Area general discussion meeting

Start: 6:00 pm

End: 8:00 pm

As I'm sure you're all aware, things got off to a quick start last summer, with some great events, discussions, and possible directions for community curriculum development. Since then, we've undergone a bit of a...well, let's call it a deceleration. Lots of things have contributed to this: the demands of the academic year on some members, the long and ungainly transition period with the website, etc.

More importantly, though, we haven't really seen each other as a group in quite a while. I'd like to propose getting together on Sunday, February 3rd, 6pm, at Get Lost Travel Books (1825 Market in San Francisco) to re-open some lines of communication. I know some folks will be out of town or otherwise unavailable, so let's not treat this as anything definitive, but as a forum to check in on what people's various projects are, how we can develop links and supports between them, etc. And if anyone wants to take the lead in putting together additional meetings, just let me know and I'll move the group email list development to the top of my priority list.

Informally, the following items look like good places to start a discussion:

<ul>
<li>where the collective is at and where it might be going</li>
<li>reactivating nonsite's project(s)</li>
<li>ongoing and upcoming curricula--"Translation as Social and Aesthetic Practice" and the "Archive/Anti-Archive" work--with their related events</li>
<li>ideas and proposals for future activity</li>
<li>website</li>
<li>other agenda items, open for suggestion...</li></ul>
